I would think that Ergo Proxy should be added to this list. The poverty stricken areas outside Romdeau in that anime aren’t really “serving” the cities, but the people in the utopias do see themsleves as the last of humanity, and do eventually get destroyed in a way.

What about The Big O? I’m not sure you could classify it as hard and gritty, obvious cyberpunk, but there are a number of android characters and possibly sentient giant robots. Most importantly here, there is an elite society living inside giant domes. And even outside of the povetry stricken zones, the setting the characters act in is possibly all controlled and orchestrated by an unknown outside party, as well. Very noir. Good stuff.

Utopia surrounded by poverty sounds like Zardoz to me.
In this case the poverty stricken masses are the refuse of the elite who live in the utopian city protected by the peripheral shield of vortex 4. In this case the inhabitants are the last remnants of enlightened society. And yes, through their actions to protect “humanity” by sealing themselves away, they end up destroying their very essences. Thus the wish to have Zeke be their executioner.

You might add Demolition Man which has a utopian city complete with bored cops because of its complacent population. The poverty stricken masses are underneath the city in the sewers, just like the morlock.

Neither of these are cyberpunk, but the utopian/disutopian theme is there.

The Big O series would be a good one to add to this list and review. I wont spoil it for you by going into plot details, and the visuals are more Steam punk than Cyberpunk, but then again Noir-like visuals are part of the Cyberpunk movie look. There’s Androids, AI, Memory Modification, Utopia Surrounded by Poverty, Corperate Powers, and dective work. I’d say it pretty much foots the bill for a Cyberpunk Anime at least.

Hey there , fine webpage:Deborah just looking approximately a number of web pages:D appears a pretty great stand you’re using. I’m at present using Hubpages only a few involving our information sites yet wanting to switch one of these to the site a stand comparable to yours to be a demo perform.
